I still have some problems understanding the %%staves directive,
and it still strikes me as being extremely cryptic compared with
putting the same information into V: fields in the header.

The draft standard says that:

"when enclosed by curly braces `{}', the voices go on a single couple of
staves (keyboard score). There cannot be more than 4 voices between the
braces."

So what's the difference between

%%staves {1 2 3 4}

and

%%staves (1 2)(3 4)

and if I write:

%%staves {1 2 3}

which hand is voice 2 on?

It seems to me that the use of {} here is both redundant and
ambiguous.
